News from the agricultural districts
OF California is far more satisfactory
and encouraging than that which omes
from the San Francisco stock markets,
where spectators in mining shares and
dishonest brokers are taking the savings
Of the deluded poor. VARYING estimates
Of the size OF the years vintage are
made, but it is admitted by all that the
wine crop of 1886 exceeds that of any
previous year. The Call asserts that
the crop is 100000 gallons; prom
inent wine merchants say it is 19.500,-
600 gallons; and Mr. De Young of the
Chronicle promises 25.000. 900 gallons.
Last years crop was only 7,500,00 gall
Ions The quality of this years vintage
is said 10 be excellent The raisin crop
is also very large The Calls estimate
is 500, 200 boxes of twenty pounds each,
as against 100000 boxes in 1885. Other
estimates are larger. The grape crop is
enormous. Out OF $4,000, 900 pounds
40,000,000 have been Shpncd eastward
to be used rs table fruit, 20000,000
have been consumed in the same form
at home, 20,000,000 have been used in
making brandy. S0,000,000 appear in
the form of raisins, and the remainder
has been consumed in making wine.
The eastward shipments of lemons,
lines, and oranges will be twice as
large as they were last year. it is said,
owing to the reduction of the freight
| charges.
| As the crops increase producers in
California are learning new ways of
selling them. Heretofore the wine-
makers have been ut the mercy of the
wine merchants in San Francisco.
These merchants unite in fixing Il price
to be paid TO the producer, and the pro-
ducer has been forced to accept it. The
owners of several large vineyards have
recently established agencies in Eastern
cities for the sale of their wines, and,
by escaping the Pacific coast middle
man, nave been able to raise the price
which they receive by nearly 100 per
cent. The adoption of this system by
all California producers who make
large quantities of wine would work to
their advantage and to the advantage
of Eastern consumers. Many persons
in the East who would like to serve
themselves and encourage the Cali
tornia producer by buying California
wines are restrained because they are
unable TO procure the vines under con-
dltions that insure its purity. If such
persons could trade directly with the
Eastern agent of well-known vineyards
the consumption of pure California
|
wines of France would b. greatly in
creased. California wines are counter
feitcd in the East, rs the recent con-
demnation of 5000 gallons of the
countelf"it product by officers of the
health department. in New York city
clearly shows.

The Presidents Message.

President Cleveland has discharged the
constitutional duty Of sending to Congress
81 message containing his recommendations
as to needed legislation. The message OF
the Chief Executive OF this great nation is
always looked for as paper OF great mo-
ment, tmbodying not only the beliefs OF
The executive as to the wants Of the nation,
but also showing the views of the chief OF
one Of the great political parties of the
country.
On this occasion the message comes from
an open candidate for denomination aud
must be treated as the personal platform
of Grover Cleveland, upon which he pro.
poses TO ask the people of the United States
to once more entrust him with the immense
power and great prerogatives conferred on
the chief servant of great and free
people.
The President confines his message to two
sub biects-the accumulated surplus IN the
treasury and the method OF reducing the
revenues of the government to prevent
further additions to the sum already in the
treasury.
President Cleveland says that there IA a
surplus, that its aggregate amount is rapidly
Increasing, and that the executive has ex-
Laust all Its authority and exercised Il
dopitiR oae IL endeavoring to reduce 1t
But the President fails to make any recon-
mtudaton as to how the large sum OF
money in tie treasury shall be restored to
circulation, unless It be by the purchase Of
bonds, heretofore Illegally done. Ga the
contrary, he depreeates liberal appropria-
tious, the only method which seems to oc-
cur to him.
The message admits what the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN has charged again and again,
that the purchase ot bonds at premium
w0s pHhOm aihhortg OF law. On this
subject the President says;
The only provision OF law iro n which such
power could be derived IS found In an ap.
preparation bin passed number OF years
ago, and II is subject to the suspicion that 4.
was intended as temporary and limited In itS
application, instead of comforting contlnl-
iDg discretion ana authority
This guarded statement does not 60 far
enough. There was no authority to pur.
chase and there was authority to pay
President Cleveland thinks that the bonds
cannot be refunded at lower rate OF inter.
Get except at the volitlon Of the bondhold-
eIs. The law does not justify this belief,
aud Secretary Window proved that the

Cleveland and Carlisle.

The message OF President C,evellul AL
the speech of Speaker Carlisle were clsS in
the same IN old. They furnish ample proof
that the President failed to discharge a h'gh
J Iuhlir duty in order to carry out the policy
q the Carlisle free trade wing OF the De
nocrGcy. When the forty.ninth Congress
adjourned It was stated upon good author.
i,y that the President would call an extra
session Of Congress in order to prevent
financial crisis by stopping the boarding OF
money In the treasury and the contraction
Cf the currency.
From this decision he was Influenced to
change by the .conspirators, who planned,
for political effect that the financial dis
trees should occur, In order to make the
people clamorous for relief In some form.
Then it was determined TO charge the
responsibility of the situation upon the
protection policy inaugurated by tae RI
publican party.
The President distinctly states that any
measure Of relief must come from Con.
gress-that the responsibility is there. He
knew this nine months ago just as well as
he knows it to-day. He knew what his duty
was Just as well as Martin Van Buren, did
fifty years ago when he called an extra ses-
sion of Congress to give financial relief to
the people.
Read the inaugural address Of Presl-
dent Cleveland and compare It with the
message and speech of Carlisle OF
to day. 1t demonstrates clearly that Car.
lislei;m has taken possession of the execu-
tive mansion.
The NATIONAL REPUBLIcAN has criticised
Speaker Carlisle for his acts Of usurpatl?n,
hut the closing chapter Of the conspiracy
makes it clear that ne was acting under the
pressure OF the Golden clubs Of his party
when he usurped power to defeat the repel
cf the tobacco tax in order to biing abou
tie fearful state Of affairs as described ii

ent, but was quickly greeted by Mr.. G. A.
Bates, who escorted him TO table mys.
teriously yelled. Raising the cover revealed

In few well chosen words Mr. Bates
with happy illusions to the use OF each
Article, presented the whole TO Mr.. Kent as
memento OF the gratitude and love of his
many friends.
Swayed by deep feeling and tender mem
orles Mr., Kent accepted the tokens of good
